Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

See author and theatre-maker, Neil Bartletts one-man homage to the defiant life and work of pre-Raphaelite painter Simeon Solomon Bartletts piece was acclaimed as one of the defining queer performances of the decade when he originally created it at the height of the first wave of the British AIDS epidemic in 1987. To celebrate the inclusion of Simeon Solomons work in the Queer British Art 1861-1967 exhibition, Bartlett revives the piece for one night only, performing it amidst the masterpieces of the nineteenth century gallery of Tate Britain. The performance is followed by a discussion about the shifting histories of queer art, performance and culture between Bartlett and Dominic Johnson, who is a writer about live art histories, and a Reader in Performance and Visual Culture at Queen Mary University of London. In collaboration with the Live Art Development Agency (LADA).
